I strongly object to the massive amount of houses proposed to be built in Ashley.
Green spaces need to be protected or else we will end up with one large conurbation where there is no distinction between towns and villages.
This is prime farming land and we need to be able to grow our own food not to mention the destruction of wildlife habitat.
The roads simply will not be able to cope with the increased traffic, you only have to look at how long it took to repair the railway bridge into Hale, it can barely cope with the traffic at the moment.

There is scope for some homes to be built perhaps 100 but not the scale that is being proposed.
